Former Director Dr. Paul Gebhard Celebrates His 90th Birthday

Dr. Gebhard's early career in photos from The Kinsey Institute Archives.

Dr. Paul H. Gebhard came to the Department of Anthropology at Indiana University in 1947 as a young
academic, fresh from his Ph.D. at Harvard University. He joined Alfred Kinsey's research team, and
was directly involved in conducting many of those thousands of interviews. After Alfred Kinsey's
death in 1956, Dr. Gebhard succeeded him as Director of the Institute for Sex Research, a position he
held until 1982. He continues today to aid Kinsey Institute staff in the transcription of original
Kinsey Institute data sets.

This summer, The Kinsey Institute staff and researchers were delighted to invite Dr. Gebhard to an informal luncheon at the Institute celebrating his 90th birthday.
